Climate action survey (everyone 18+). How does environmental attitudes and personality traits effect climate action?
2024 was the first year that the global temperature exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial level (Poynting, Rivault & Dale, 2025). The time for climate action is now!
This survey looks at the influences of environmental attitudes and personality traits on pro-environmental behaviours (climate actions), and aims to help bridge the environmental attitude-action gap.

China's Open Source AI Could Greatly Reduce Big Tech's Footprint
From the NY Times:"The world’s leading A.I. companies train their chatbots using supercomputers that use as many as 16,000 chips, if not more. DeepSeek’s engineers, on the other hand, said they needed only about 2,000 specialized computer chips from Nvidia."
This means at least 85% less power used. In a time when all the big tech companies are making huge investments in energy production, renewable or not, this is a huge win. Chat GPT and the like will likely incorporate this model in to their own since it's open source which translates to much less power needed for AI across the board.
